A TOAST TO THE LAMBSKIN
Here’s a toast to the Lambskin, more
ancient by far
Than the fleece of pure Gold, or the
Eagles of war,
’Tls the badge of a Mason more noble
to wear
Than the Garter of England, or Order
so rare.
Let the king wear his purple, and point
to his Crown
Which may fall from his brow when
his Throne tumbles down,
But the badge of a Mason has much
more to give
Than a Kingdom so frail that it cannot
long live.
.Let the Field Marshal boast of the
men he can guide,
Of Infantry column and heroes who
ride;
But the White Leather Apron his
standard outranks
Since it floatB from the East to the
death’s river banks.
’Tls the shield of the Orphan, ’tls the
Emblem of Love.
’Tls the Qharter of Faith from the
Grand Lodge above;
While the high and the low, in its
whiteness arrayed
Of one blood and one skin by its magic
are made.
Cities fall to the Earth, nations crum
ble to dust,
Men are born but to die. Swords are
made but to rust.
But the White Leather Apron through
ages passed on
Has survived with the Lodge of the
Holy St. John.
So a toast to the Lambskin, which
level uplifts,
To the White Leather Apron, most
priceless of gifts,
’Tis the Badge of a Mason, more noble
to wear
Than the Garter of England, an Order
so rare.
A COMMUNITY OF INTEREST.
(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
“Pardon me, but you seem much en
tertained by that story of the $500,000
necklace the Philadelphia banker gave
his bride.”
“Yes.”
“Perhaps there is some particular
reason why you are interestedt”
“Why, yes—I’m a tax assessor.”
“Well, it interested me, too.”
“You’re not a tax assessort”
“No, I’m a burglar.”
“A self-mado man,” remarked the
thoughtful thinker, “is a good deal like
a home-made shirt.”
“What’s the answert” we quiried.
“More useful than ornamental,” re
plied the t. t.—Chicago News.
Let the howlers howl, and the growlers
growl, and the prowlers prowl, and the
gew gaws go it;
Behind the night there iB plenty of light,
and things are all right and—I know
it.—National Magazine.
HUGH DORSEY
Seeking Re-eledtion as Solicitor-General.
He has made good and his friends pre
dict his re-election by a good
safe majority.
Hugh Dorsey is a candidate for election to the office of Solicitor
General, which position he is now filling by an ad interim appointment.
When Charlie Hill, who for twenty years or more had filled the office
of Solicitor General with such remarkable ability as to be recognized
as the best in the State, died last year, it became necessary for the
Governor to appoint a man to fill out his term. The appointment was
one calculated to try the metal of any Atlanta lawyer, however much
experience he might have had, or whatever his standing at the bar.
The Governor settled on Hugh M, Dorsey, a young lawyer, son of
the lamented Judge Rufus T. Dorsey, whose real ability had, up to
that time, been overshadowed by the fact that he was his father’s son.
Mr. Dorsey’s friends were not surprised when he made good. Other
people, not so well acquainted with him, were amazed at the vigor, the
ability and the zeal which he put into the work and the results accom
plished.
It is sufficient here to say that the public has not suffered any loss)
by the change in Solicitor Generals, though the sledding has probably
been pretty hard for Mr. Dorsey. He has measured up to the job, and
now comes before the people for an election for the new term. In so
far as any man can be said to be entitled to public office, he is entitled
to the position he seeks. Taking hold under most adverse circum
stances, he has given to the public service absolute fidelity, and has
shown-that he possesses ample ability to protect the interests of the
community.
It gives us pleasure, therefore, to be able to recommend hi™ to the
people of Fulton county as eminently qualified for, and deserving of,
the position which he seeks. Hugh has made good.
